The former Portland Trail Blazers’ player is currently incarcerated.
Former NBA player Sebastian Telfair, who hails from Coney Island in Brooklyn, N.Y., has gone from rags to riches and now back to rags, as a documentary was recently released showing him living back in the projects where he grew up.
Teflair, who is also the cousin of another former NBA player, Stephon Marbury, who also hails from Brooklyn, was one of the great stories of talented basketball players from New York City (Rod Strickland, Kenny Smith, Malik Sealy (R.I.P.), Mark Jackson, to name a few), who made a name for themselves and went to college and then the NBA to have succesful careers making millions of dollars in the process.
He cops to having several issues in his personal life that have brought him back “home.”
“But after a series of legal issues and personal problems, my life has become something I could never imagine. I’m right back to where it all began. Back in Coney Island, back in the projects, back in the fire.”
